Description

Road development in the Congo Basin forest is continuously monitored from 2019 onwards in high spatial and temporal detail. A deep learning method is applied to 10 m scale Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 imagery for automated road detections on a monthly basis. This version presents 5 years of road development (46,311 km) from 2019-2023.

The data is composed of line features distributed in .shp and .geojson formats. The following attributes are stored for the line features:

• NetworkID: A unique ID for each connected road network.
• SegLenM: The length of the road segment (in meters).
• NetLenM: The length of the connected road network (in meters).
• Month: The road segment opening month.
• Year: The road segment opening year.
• MonthNum: The road segment opening month, depicted as a continuing count since the start of monitoring (e.g. 13 = January 2020). This attribute can be used for smooth and continuous temporal analyses or visualizations.

A route feature stores the spatial locations (geography) of the road. These feature classes have an (M) value or measure on their vertices. A route system depicts all roads within or in close proximity to an administrative unit. A road is a motor vehicle travel way over 50 inches wide, unless classified and managed as a trail. This feature is only SPATIAL ROAD DATA, other data (open, closed, jurisdiction, maintenance level) is stored in INFRA. Used to link spatial roads to INFRA data, ROAD NO., BMP, EMP and Calibration. Routed roads are a single spatial line, all have data in INFRA and this data must be attached. Routed roads need to have INFRA data table attached by use of R10 Geospatial Interface (GI) tool and Visualization named Roads with Core Attributes RSW - This creates an output roads layer and adds the following fields from the INFRA database at NITC: name, lanes, service life, system, surface type, jurisdiction, objective maintenance level, operational maintenance level, route status, functional class and primary maintainer. Routed ROADS CAN HAVE OTHER DATA TABLES ATTACHED, (R10 Stream Data Point-RSW, Road Points -RSW, Bridges-RSW, MVUM Roads and Transportation Atlas. A road may be classified or unclassified. Classified roads are roads within the National Forest System lands planned and managed for motor vehicle access including State roads, county roads, private roads, permitted roads, and Forest Service roads. Unclassified roads are roads not intended to be a part of nor managed as a part of the forests transportation system, such as temporary roads, and unplanned, unengineered, unauthorized off-road vehicle tracks and abandoned travel ways. Route measurements and route directions must correspond to those stored in the INFRA Oracle table RTE_BASICS. Associated National Application: INFRA Travel Routes. IWeb Infra Roads webpage http://basenet.fs.fed.us/support/help/roads/. All routed roads are required to have data in INFRA and all roads having data in INFRA are required to be routed.

A map service depicting Forest Service roads and trails that are designated for motor vehicle use under the official U.S. Government Code of Federal Regulations for identifying designated roads and trails (36 CFR 212.56). Road and Trail MVUM. The difference between MVUM_01 and MVUM_02 is that MVUM_02 has trails and roads in the MVUM Symbology group labeled while MVUM_01 does not. Additional roads, such as highways, county roads or public roads, are included for mapping purposes. This map service shows the specific types of motorized vehicles allowed on the designated routes and their seasons of use. Data used in this map service are designed to be consistent with the MVUM (Motor Vehicle Use Map). The road and trail data are compiled from the GIS Data Dictionary data and Infra tabular data that the U.S. Forest Service administrative units have prepared for the creation of their MVUMs. This data is published and refreshed on a unit by unit basis as needed and approved by the individual units in order to stay in sync and consistent with the published MVUMs. Only roads with the symbol value of 1,2,3, 4, 11, 12 are Forest Service System roads and contain data concerning their availability for OHV use. Only trails with the symbol value of 5-12, 16, 1. are Forest Service System trails and contain data concerning their availability for motorized use.�Metadata and Downloads

The feature class indicates the specific types of motorized vehicles allowed on the designated routes and their seasons of use. The feature class is designed to be consistent with the Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM). Only roads with a SYMBOL attribute value of 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, and 12 are Forest Service System roads and contain data concerning their availability for OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) use. This data is published and refreshed on a unit by unit basis as needed. Information for each individual unit must be verified as to be consistent with the published MVUMs prior to inclusion in this data. Not every National Forest has data included in this feature class.

The mapping and inventory process is an ongoing effort, with reviews being completed on the ground by DNR staff as well as an in-depth review of public comments.

Each year:

Comments on current maps are accepted until Aug. 31 Comments on proposed changes to maps are accepted during open comment periods. Approved changes are incorporated into the maps and go into effect April 1

Type of Road Proposals

Open to ORVs

Roads recommended to be opened to ORV use. Proposals in this category may include roads added because of new construction or because an existing road was missed in the initial inventory. Other proposals in this category include roads that were previously closed to ORV use, but due to a change in circumstances or public input, are recommended to be opened to ORV use.

Closed to ORVs

Roads recommended to be closed to ORV use. Proposals in this category may include newly constructed roads, roads missed in the initial inventory process or roads that were previously open and are now recommended for closure. A recommendation to close roads to ORVs could be for natural resource protection or because of user conflicts.

Closed to All Vehicles

Roads recommended to be closed to all conventional vehicles and ORVs. Proposals in this category may include roads that were previously either open or closed to ORV use and were open to use by conventional vehicles. Closure recommendations could be made due to natural resource damage, for example.

Data Cleanup

Roads recommended to be deleted and removed from the statewide forest road inventory. Proposals in this category include roads that may appear on published DNR forest road maps that no longer exist on the ground. Other proposals in this category include roads that are duplicates of an already existing road that need to be removed. Data cleanup is part of an ongoing effort to ensure accurate forest road maps.

GB_ROADS is compiled from Forest road network data managed by Forestry Civil Engineering. The data relates to forest road Classification. Forest Roads are categorised on the basis of intended usage (as listed below) rather than the specification used in their construction or upgrading. This can mean that, at a particular point in time, a Class A main road or a Class B spur road may have specification features that could limit its use. Class A - Main Roads Principal timber haulage route on a long-term basis. Constructed to high specification. Maintained to a high standard. Limiting features shown on road map. All year but not all weather. Class B - Spur Roads Used by timber haulage lorries for specific operations. Full geometric and safety standards for stated use. Specification tailored to suit purpose. Possibility that surfacing not high quality or durable. Long term maintenance minimal. Each usage subject to individual engineering assessment. Limiting features noted for each particular contract. Class C - Other Roads Roads other than Main or Spur roads. Maintenance dependent on usage. Not normally used by timber haulage lorries. Use by timber haulage lorries subject to the same individual engineering assessment as Class B roads. Attributes: EVT_LEN : total length of event on road segment RD_REF : reference prescribed by FCE to road segment RD_NUMBER : number prescribed by FCE to road segment RD_NAME : where applicable, local name prescribed by FCE to road segment(s) RD_CLASS : current Forestry Civil Engineering classification type of road DISTRICT : Cost Centre in which road segment occurs COUNTRY : Country in which road segment occurs

Forest resource roads (FRR) are actively used for accessing forest resources. FRRs are tracked and managed in a road management database. These roads do not represent a complete road network, they should be viewed in conjunction with the Roads -50k - Canvec dataset. Many FRRs are gated with controlled access. There are four categories of roads in the dataset: Forest Resource Roads (act); Forest Resource Access (non-act), Public Access (non-act) and auxiliary roads: - Forest resources road (Act): a road constructed, modified or maintained for the purpose of providing access for forest resources harvesting or management of forest resources that is authorized under subsection 32(1) of the Act, or a road designated as forest resources road under section 73 of the Regulation. These roads were constructed or designated after the Forest Resources Act and Regulation were enacted. - Forest resource access (non-Act): a road constructed, modified or maintained for the purpose of providing access for forest resources harvesting or management of forest resources that is considered a capital investment by the Government of Yukon, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, Forest Management Branch. These roads were constructed prior to the enactment of the Forest Resources Act. - Public Access (non act): a pre-existing public road. In this road network all Public Access is part of the forest resource access network. - Auxiliary access: a variety of access types that do not conform to the above descriptions and may include: research forest trails, skid trails, heritage trails, trails that access forest resources.

This feature class depicts Forest Service trails where motorized use is allowed. It contains information on the specific type of motor vehicle and their seasons of use. The feature class is consistent with the appropriate National Forest's Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM). Non-motorized trails are not included in this data. Trails in this feature class are legal for some motorized use for at least a portion of the year. Any reference to Open or Dates Open refers strictly to when it is legal to use that motor vehicle on the trail. It is not meant to describe when the conditions would be appropriate for that use. As an example, a trail may be designated open to motorcycles all year long but there may be periods of time when snow depth prevents the use of motorcycles on that trail. It is compiled from the GIS Data Dictionary data and tabular data that the administrative units have prepared for the creation of their MVUMs. This data is published and refreshed on a unit by unit basis as needed. Individual unit's data must be verified and proved consistent with the published MVUMs prior to publication in the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW).
